questions about my new TP2

[turbochris]

Here I go again, new phone, new obsession. Nothing else will get done for a while because I can't stop myself from f'ing with this little marvel of technology. I already like it more than my TP and I'm just getting started.

1. will the headphone/usb dongle from my TP1 work with this thing? I used it to get TV out on my TP1, what's needed to get TV out on the TP2?

2. What are the weird looking sensor things on either side of the camera?

3. What's the little button under the camera with the little microphone symbol for?

4. On the opposite side from the volume buttons, there's a little hole in the slide off cover back cover that lines up with another hole under it in the main case, what's this for?

5. under the cover between the SD card slot and reset button there looks like a smaller card or something stuck in there, what is it?

Sorry to be such a pia, I have the tech disease.

1) Can't help you on this one...

2) They're not sensors, they're speakers

3) It's a mute button, generally used for when you are using the speakerphone in a call

4) That's a microphone to hear your voice when you use the speakerphone

5) That's a SIM card. You're with Verizon so you don't use this natively. But if you travel overseas, you can use this to jump on a european/asian wireless network which uses GSM

thanks,
that's some serious speakers for a smart phone.
I thought the sim card was under the battery?

My bad, I read your original question wrong...

It's just a little door thingy... Go ahead and try to pop it out though, you won't be able to. Just ignore it, it's nothing

I thought it was maybe a JTAG or serial diagnostic port or something well, I had to use a good sized screwdriver and it popped right out and my phone started smoking. Good news is the moisture sensors still look good so I can send it in for warranty!

I seriously hope you're joking

For several of those questions, "reading the manual" FAIL

I only have so much time to read stuff. I'd rather spend it here than shovel through the 5 pounds of VZW propaganda documentation not to mention the 2 cd's that god only knows what they'll corrupt in my OS if I even hold them near my computer.

Yes, people should RTFM. In this case I tried. I really did try to read the crap but I get bored and fall asleep with all the bullsh they load in there. Maybe they could have used the plastic that they wasted on the CD's to make me a friggin screen protector! All that plastic and metal they wasted on providing power adapters for countries I'll never visit could have been used to make a nice little carry case. And all that paper......

I got a question,

does anyone else have trouble getting links to register in opera mobile, stock & 10.2 beta? I have to tap the links multiple times especially when the links are in close proximity to each other like the page 1,2,3.... next page buttons on this forum.

is this a feature of resistive screens or winmo? and is there any solution?

Since all other question seem to have been answered:
1) yes all TP(1) accessories work great with TP2(at least on Sprint version), i am using the same TV-Out cable i got for TP on TP2 with no problems(watching YouTube on TV never looked better(with HTC youtube client - the best))
